10:18 ET -- Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE are two of the most talked about companies in the U.S. across all news items in the last 12 hours, according to Factiva data. The vaccine partners have asked the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to approve the use of their updated Covid-19 booster, which targets the original strain and the fast-spreading Omicron variants, in children ages 5 through 11. An FDA decision could come before the end of the year. Dow Jones & Co. owns Factiva. (colin.kellaher@wsj.com)
